Wedding Cookies
I forgot to toast the almonds in this the first time I made it, so I had to bake the cookies about 5 to 7 minutes longer
than what the recipe stated. The kids gave this a thumbs up; Paul said it “didn’t suck.”
Ingredients
1 cup butter (no substitutions), softened
1/2 cup granulated (not smack-u-lated) sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup ground almonds (about 3 oz.), preferably toasted
1 cup powdered sugar
Preheat oven to 300º.
Cream together butter, (granulated, not smack-u-lated) sugar, and vanilla. Gradually add flour; mix well. Stir in the almonds. Shape into 1-inch balls; place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned. Cool on wire racks. Gently roll cooled cookies in powdered sugar.
